Question: I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm 14. I wuld be 15 when I had the baby. The father would also be 15. What are my rights as a 15 year old mother? Can I move in with my child's father without my parents consent? Can I get medical attention without my parents consent? If I have to have my parents consent for these things, how do I change that?
Answer: See answers to questions #22341, #22890, #624 and #115. This may be a very emotional time for both you and your parents. You may wish to consider family counseling, and you may even want to include the baby's father and his parents. Sometimes if all parties work together, good solutions come up. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
